hi guys, i hacked my 3ds quite some time ago. roughly around or over a year ago. i am wanting to update the custom firmware on it. at the time that i did it i was into it and knew how to update files and such. i am capable of doing such now, i just want to be steered in the right direction. it has godmode 1.3.1, Luma3ds v9.1-bd15f51a, system version 11.9.0-42U. sadly i cant remember what other info to give u that would help in assisting me on updating.

i just know i had to use a 2ds with older version and cubicninja inject or something to even hack my 3ds. anyways, sorry if this info is already out there. i just dont want to brick my 3ds! thanks in advance!

Download the Luma3DS release from here and copy the "boot.firm" and "boot.3dsx" files from the archive to the root of your SD Card. Then, after inserting the SD Card into the 3DS, use GodMode9 to copy the 0 (SD Card):/boot.firm to 1 (CTRNAND):/
If it says that the file already exists, then overwrite the previous file.

Freeshop has long been a dead app. There isnt any reason other than maybe a nostalgic one to even keep it anymore. It will not work now, and will never work.

it allows you to play ds games without a flash cart. though, some games don't work. it's the ultimate setup with a flash cart though.

I'm here to help as best I can. right now, I'm trying to figure out the controller schema for wii u games through the meta.xml. downloading tropical freeze right now, which can use the pro controller. a lot of tickets are missing from early nes and snes games.

You do not need to use the Luma Updater, as the "boot.firm" you downloaded was the latest version of Luma. FBI can be updated by selecting the "Update" option in the app. FreeShop is obsolete, so delete it.

  • HiradeGirl @ HiradeGirl:
    My sister had a N3DS XL and it suffered the same fate.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @HiradeGirl the L button barely worked at all in the dsi i previously had
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    my dad bought me a dsi identical to that one
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That could be an easy fix without even opening it with some ipa maybe unless the entire button broke
  • HiradeGirl @ HiradeGirl:
    That´s why I never got any handheld before the Switch.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, thats why patches exist
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ds games are best played on a DS emulation is fine but having actual hardware is better obviously
     +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Or N3ds/2Ds
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, or most "gimmicky" consoles
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Nah the dual screen makes them better because that's how they were developed for
     +1
  • HiradeGirl @ HiradeGirl:
    Wii U is also great.
  • HiradeGirl @ HiradeGirl:
    For DS games.
  • HiradeGirl @ HiradeGirl:
    Also, 3DS games through NTR streaming on Wii U.
  • HiradeGirl @ HiradeGirl:
    It's very cool.
  • HiradeGirl @ HiradeGirl:
    Even playable.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can have main game on big screen and touch lay out on wiiu tablet I can see that
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @HiradeGirl, I have a broken o3ds xl
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Phones worked great for DS emulation with DraStic and a controller that held your phone
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But sadly that's coming to an end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, atleast I think the latest version's apk is archived somewhere
     +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah it works great but it's the obvious Ds factor you loose from it it's not like playing atari games on atari because Nintendo actually use to give a reason to buy their hardware
     +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Honestly Ken I actually have the hardware and it's hacked and works fine, prefer my phone lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Microphone is more sensitive, DraStic has a high res mode, screen is way better just overall a better experience
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I just like game consoles how they were intended to play if they have a unique enough reason to buy them anything else yeah just download emulation for it
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh and touch screen infinity better lol
